PORTSMOUTH -- A three-hour response by two SWAT teams, more than 30 police officers and multiple firefighters ended after noon Wednesday with the arrest of a Kearsarge Way man, who was the subject of prior SERT calls, the last time ending with two AR-15 rifles and three pistols being seized. Police Chief Robert Merner said the Seacoast Emergency Response Team initially responded to serve a warrant for the arrest of Isaac Brake, 45, of 322 Kearsarge Way, for criminal trespassing. The chief said Brake was not welcome at that address and while Brake’s guns were not returned to him after his February 2018 arrest, police responded Wednesday morning under the assumption that he could have obtained more guns.
